No, this is correct. A path that starts with a "/" is an absolute path -
that is, its first component is a disk (actually volume, to get technical)
name.

Suppose you have a disk called "Disk", which contains a file called "File".
In this case, the path "/Disk/File" means a file at the top level of that
disk. Without the leading slash, the path "Disk/File" means a file called
"File", inside a folder called "Disk" that's in the defaultFolder.

If you're specifying an absolute pathname, rather than one that's relative
to the current defaultFolder, you need the leading slash.
